It was supposed to rain all day today, they were wrong again but it was so hot and muggy it was a perfect time to stay in the basement and work on some projects.
I had one of those light bulb moments and I was off to create. I love it when that happens.
you might remember this 50 cent burlap bag from a couple of weeks ago... I wanted to be sure that I had just the right project for it...
afterall it is burlap and we all know how hot that stuff is right now in blogland... so I decided to contribute to the cause...
this shelf was from last weeks garage sale finds...
I removed the back and cut the burlap to size... I pressed it first,
used spray adhesive to glue the burlap to the back...
the hardest part was getting it straight...
the lettering was the perfect size for this piece.
after I painted, sanded and stained the shelf it was ready for the big reveal...
I replaced another shelf to hang this, I loved it so much...
all dressed and ready to be adored...
(those are all old hand made cribbage boards and a handmade bat and ball)
so easy and the whole thing cost $3.50, my kind of a bargain...
Be sure to check the next post... you get a double whammy this week.
Happy Saturday all...
Hugs, Deb

Love the burlap on the shelf. It looks great.
I LOVE the burlap on the shelf!! It looks so good!
That looks great! A 50 cent feed sack?!?! Awesome!
There you go again Deb, amazing the heck outta me with your makeovers. Now this one is a must have and I suppose you're keeping it;) I really like it!
Love the shelf, I also love the Coca Cola crate, I love decorating with them. Many years ago my husband's grandmother gave us one that was from a local dairy farm. That is a great piece of history to have, we found some old slightly chipped milk bottles from another dairy farm and voila they are displayed together.
Deb, I can't tell you how many things I have picked up that i wouldn't have before your influence!
That shelf is so perfect with the burlap and black. Hope you don't mind, but I have to copy it. I picked up a shelf just like it months ago and haven't touched it. Now I know why. And I just happen to have more burlap sacks around too...
Great job on this. I love when you post your before and afters.

I LOOOOOVE this!! Oh how I love it. I think the burlap treatment makes your shelf so ultra unique and deliciously rustic. I've spotlighted you on the sidebar this weekend. :)
Thanks for linking up!

Love this. What a great idea.
Wow! that is fantastic and would look great in my craft room :) I am loving the burlap, too. Unfortunately, I haven't found any vintage...just the fabric store kind...but it's still so much fun. Thanks for sharing a great before/after!
